ON ACCOUNT OF RENT IN THE BALLON THE FIRST
ATTEMPT BY MRS. GRIBBLE WAS A FAILURE , BUT AFTER THE HUGE
MONSTER HAD BEEN BROUGHT BACK FROM IT'S WANDERINGS , AND INFLATED
THE SECOND TIME , IT WAS TURNED LOOSE AND WENT HEAVEN WARD ,
CARRYING WITH IT THE YOUNG AERONAUT WHO DARED TO RISK HER LIFE AT
THE END OF A FEW SMALL CORDS , HANGING THOUSANDS OF FEET ABOVE
MOTHER EARTH . A MORE EXCITING OR BEAUTIFUL SCENE WAS NEVER
WITNESSED BEFORE , AND THE IMMENSE THRONG THAT WITNESSED THE
ASCENSION WERE DELIGHTED .
